08/20/23 - She wasn’t ruined by outsiders. She was ruined by her own people.
A recording of Coco Li Wen [famous singer who recently passed away] accusing The Voice of China [China’s version of the reality show The Voice] of rigged competitions and corruption, and that she had suffered career lash backs when she’d called them out on it. Han Hong [famous singer] is supporting Coco, calling for relevant government authorities to look into this. Han Hong says, “As Coco’s good friend, I think she’s a kind and honest person. I trust her, and I feel bad for her!”
Comments say, “A star known around the globe. A patriot who loved her country. She wasn’t ruined by outsiders. She was ruined by her own people. This society is so pitiful, so laughable.”
“They need to investigate Zhejiang TV thoroughly.”
“We need to crack down on organised crime, investigate throughly, restore the truth of the situation, and chase down exactly who is responsible for what. We need to use the law to punish those in the wrong and put them in jail.”
An influencer [who briefly dated a celebrity?] has had one of her old instagrams where she complained about how hard it was to live in Shenzhen and how there’s no good food there compared to Hong Kong, writes, “I posted that instagram post when I was fourteen years old…I grew up in Shenzhen and often visited Hong Kong when I was a child. A lot of my relatives lived in Hong Kong, and would often buy me food. Once I grew up, I didn’t have a lot of family left in the mainland, and they didn’t particularly care about me. That’s why I said life was hard in the mainland. Just like how a lot of people work in Shenzhen, and feel like Shenzhen has no good food. But when they go back to their hometown, they’ll say wow, life is hard, but at least there’s good food here.
Of course I know Hong Kong is a part of China. That’s why I didn’t particularly go out of my way to emphasise that it was Hong Kong, China. That’s all. I just don’t want to be misunderstood anymore, so I posted an explanation. Sorry for any inconvenience.”
[Apparently, she is also under controversy for making a joke about the 5/12 Earthquake.
Comments say, “Jesus christ, they dug up a post you made at 14? Fandoms are scary, man.”
“Sometimes I feel like you’re pretty smart, and sometimes, I feel like you’re being an idiot. You don’t owe anyone anything. You have the freedom to date whoever you want. But if you’re gonna argue back against regular people, you need to give people a chance to explain themselves. Of course, you can say it’s none of my business. I’m just a passerby. But I’m a passerby who went through the 512 Earthquake and has been hurt by your attitude.”
“Sweetie, don’t try to defend yourself. It never works against people determined to be malicious.”
A tiktok video of a man who found out 16 years into his marriage that none of his three kids are his biological children. In the interview, he says, “I don’t really think anything of it. Last year’s Moon Watching Festival, I waited on their route back home from school, wanting to give them some moon cakes. You know, since I can’t really go to her house. As soon as they saw me, they hid from me. I managed to get ahold of my second daughter, and when she saw me, she said, “I don’t want to talk to you. I don’t have anything to say to you.” And she ignored me after that. My oldest daughter had been interviewed by the media before, and she said at the time, in 2022, that she hated me.”
The captions say that sixteen years of raising them has went to nothing.
Comments say: “They don’t hate their mom, they hate their dad????”
“Ungrateful bastards.”
“They’re not favouring their mom. It’s because these kids have went through a lot of bullying thanks to this incident being exposed to the media too. Sure, the dad here might be the biggest victim, but the three kids have been hurt by it too. I mean, sure, their mom created the situation to begin with, and these kids might be resentful of her too in a couple of years. But they’ll let it all go once they’re grown up.”
“A lot of men threaten to kill their wive’s whole family when they beat their wives, or threaten to abuse their children. A lot of women are scared shitless. And their families don’t support them either, because they’re afraid of being caught in the fire. But fierce, strong women don’t care about this move at all.
Sometimes, if you’re faced with domestic violence, if you just throw your life out the window and fight back as hard as you can a couple of times, then the problem’s solved.”
Comment say, “I need to talk about my role model here. Her husband beat her and was taking his mistress home, and all her MIL said about it was that it was her own fault for not holding onto him. And then she boiled a pot of chilli water and poured it all over the guy while he slept.”
“Whoever tries to beat me, I’ll stab him to death. I don’t care if I die, so long as I take him with me.”
“I remember a documentary about women’s prison a couple of days ago. They had a section full of women who couldn’t put up with abuse anymore and ended up killing their husband. They were all really pitiful, honest girls. If they weren’t pushed to the ends of their ropes, who would be able to actually do it? T_T”
A blogger reposts a translated twitter post, asking, “Are kangaroos this vicious?”
The twitter post starts with a picture of a kangaroo standing in a pond, and asks, “If you’re an Australian and you see this, what do you do?”
And beneath is a tweet saying, “Fun fact from Australia—this kangaroo is waiting for pursuers to enter the water, so it can try drowning them. They’re very good at this. Never go into the water with a kangaroo. They have a lot of creative ways of killing you.”
In the weibo comments, people say, “They’re super scary, and they’ll attack people on their own. My family were going to move to Australia. We toured around Melbourne and really liked it. And then we rented a car to drive around in the suburbs a bit, and the day before we returned the car, a kangaroo punched a hole in our car. Now we live in America. They’re super strong and super aggressive. We all sat in the car, too afraid to breathe. I swear nobody provoked him.”
“I had a coworker who was Australian. One day, while chatting, me and another Chinese girl was talking about how kangaroos were cute. And the coworker looked totally shocked and was like, “Really?” And then he pulled up a video of a kangaroo banging on someone’s door and was all like, “Really?”
“I heard a friend’s story once. It was really sad and also really funny. He was riding a bicycle on the road, minding his own business, when a passing kangaroo kicked him off his bike.”
“Times really have changed. I see a lot of my comments talking about how parents need to give their kids high-quality companionship. When I was little, after school, we’d just go hang out with a dozen of our friends, and fish in the rivers or try to catch birds. If some parent told their kid to not go out, because they’re gonna have high-quality family time at home, it would be a nightmare. Nobody needed their parents’ companionship. Maybe it’s just because there are too few kids these days? Everyone’s living in the city now, and kids don’t have friends anymore?”
Comments say, “It’s really hard to figure out the perfect distance from your parents. When I was little, it didn’t matter what amount of time I spent with my parents, we always had a good relationship. Maybe modern society is just too comfortable.”
“When we were little, we all lived in rural fields. Now everyone’s in a big city. When I was in primary school, my classmate who lived in the factory dorms with his parents begged me to come over every day during summer break to free him, or else his parents would keep him in all day XD.”
“You can’t free-range your kids anymore. There are too many accidents these days.”
An 11 year old boy showed up late to school and was kicked out by his teacher. There’s a tiktok video of his grandpa yelling at the teachers
The grandpa yells, “Who gave you the right!? To kick my grandson out of the classroom? Once you kicked him out, did you even get in contact with his parents? He was crying out there by the side of the road! Would you even know if he went missing?”
The mother says, “If it hadn’t been for a kind parent who contacted me, would you take responsibility if he went missing?”
Comments say, “Teacher is just a profession. It doesn’t imply anything about morality. We have been imagining them too kindly, because of our existing biases.”
“What’s that got to do with the teacher? How did he get out of the school?”
“This is news from ages ago. These aren’t teachers in a real school—it’s just a tutoring agency. I think the classroom was inside a shopping mall. The kid didn’t know where to go, so he just wandered outside on his own.”
